Item A Girl Scout camp(Texas Tech University, 1971-05) Heil, Carla LThe purpose of this camp is to revitalize an interest in Girl Scouting In the Caprock council through new and varying camping experiences, and to create a play and study environment where girls can continue to widen their learning processes through association with nature and one another. To accomplish this purpose, the primary concern was conceived to be an intrarelationship of campers and their activities. The camp plan was devised to keep campers and their paths free from auto traffic and service functions. The units within the camp are separated by a minimum of 200 feet to provide both visual and audible separation. While this separation is important, it is equally important to keep all activities as close to one another as possible to provide ease in accessibility.Item Art education for girls : Juliette Gordon Low and early girl scouting(2011-08) Glover, Lauren Haley; Bolin, Paul Erik, 1954-; Mayer, Melinda M.This study investigates Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low’s role as an art educator. The study is framed around the years of Low’s life, 1860-1927, concentrating on the years 1912-1927, when Low’s role as an art educator was most pronounced. An examination is made into Low’s early artistic influences and training, and artworks made by Low are discussed. An overview of the Girl Scout organization is presented, and Low’s working relationship with Boy Scout founder Sir Robert Baden-Powell is analyzed. Evidence of art education in the early Girl Scout movement is examined, including handbooks, artist merit badges, nature study and observational drawing, and the personal recollections of an early Girl Scout. Low’s art education contributions beyond the scope of Girl Scouts are also investigated, including her role as a charter member of the Savannah Art Club. The study concludes by suggesting a historical reframing of Low as an art educator is needed.
